Your key responsibilities

Reporting to the Finance Manager, the Financial Analyst – Treasury will play a critical role in assisting both the continued development and day-to-day operations of the Treasury Department.

This role will flex between business-as-usual (BAU) operational delivery and participation in strategic and transformation initiatives, requiring the ability to prioritise competing demands and deliver high-quality outputs in a fast-paced, controlled environment.

This position combines operational delivery and analytical support for the Finance Manager in enhancing treasury processes, with responsibility for executing day-to-day treasury operations, including operator revenue reconciliations and related projects, while supporting change initiatives and process improvements.

The successful candidate will focus on ensuring accuracy and efficiency in bank reconciliations, management of suspense accounts, and adherence to governance policies. A key aspect of the role will be identifying, driving and embedding process improvements while maintaining a strong control environment. This individual will also work on improving processes, maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements, addressing ad hoc queries, and contributing meaningfully to treasury-related projects and organisational change initiatives.

As part of a broader team driving organisational transformation, this role provides an opportunity to contribute to the development of a key treasury function.

To qualify for the role, you must have

• Create and document standard operating procedures (SOPs) for treasury operations.
• Aid the development and maintenance of policies and procedures for all treasury operations.
• Proactively identify, recommend and implement process improvements to enhance efficiency, control and value for money.
• Support the identification and implementation of process improvements.
• Support projects such as the potential migration of banking services and the impact of next-generation ticketing on treasury processes.
• Perform and review bank and revenue reconciliations for selected operators in line with strict control and reporting timelines.
• Execute and monitor internal banking transfers and assist with the development, management and continued improvement of liquidity management processes.
• Monitor and manage unresolved transactions within suspense accounts and investigate unreconciled transactions, ensuring prompt resolution in accordance with defined SLAs and control requirements.
• Coordinate routine and project-specific administrative communications with banking institutions.
• Respond to operator and internal queries, providing accurate and timely resolutions.
• Work closely with auditors to provide requested information and clarifications related to treasury activities.
• Support and participate in cross-functional initiatives aimed at enhancing financial control, operational effectiveness and efficiency.
• Demonstrate flexibility in balancing BAU priorities with project deliverables, particularly during periods of peak workload or organisational change.
• Maintain clear documentation of issues, investigations and resolutions, contributing to continuous improvement of processes, controls and stakeholder understanding.
• Lead or support root cause analysis of discrepancies, working cross-functionally to identify underlying issues and implement sustainable corrective actions.
• Assist with other ad hoc assignments as required.
